"I didn't expect that he would discover my other identity like this. Even though I rehearsed it many times in my mind, I am still worried about what he would think of me."

Rain

He continued to play the song on a loop as he walked home, watching the video, when suddenly a message alert caught his attention. "Shit! I am late!" he shouted as he raced home.

Phayu

Phayu came down the stairs to his bandmates waiting for him, discussing something. "So? Did you find him?" Pai asked. Phayu shook his head despondently, sitting on the stairs. "Did you really see him?" he asked. "Yes! I let him in," Pai said. "What? Who?" Fah asked. "Just that guy," Yihwa said slyly, snapping her fingers in front of Phayu, making him blush. "Seriously? Don't tell me Rain came? Was it him?" Cho asked. "Rain came here today?" Fah asked. "Yup, he was standing in the front," Yihwa said. "Why didn't I know about it? Why didn't I see him?" Cho asked. "I didn't see him either," Phayu said, sighing. Pai patted his head. "Alright, let's chat as we walk," he said. "Let's go," he said to everyone else. "Let's go find something to eat," Fah said. "I am not going," Phayu said, standing up. "I have to go help mom close the stall," he added. "Are you really not coming?" Yihwa asked. "Do you want to get some takeaway with you?" Pai asked. "No, no. You guys go ahead. I will see you soon," Phayu said. "Okay, take care buddy!" Cho said, as Phayu left.

Phayu's mom was cleaning the tables as he arrived. "You are back?" she asked, immediately coming to the entrance. "I am back," Phayu said, smiling at her. "Did your performance go well today?" she asked. "It went well," Phayu said. "You were in such a hurry when you left today. Someone came to look for you," she said. "Who?" he asked. "I have never seen him before. It was a guy. About this tall, thin, really cute, sort of Korean looking. I have never seen him before," she said. 'Was she talking about Rain?' Phayu thought, as he unbuttoned his coat. He quickly changed and made his way to Rain's house with a packed bowl of soup, smiling at the thought of seeing him again.

Rain

"In the next class, I want to hear the beginning and the end of this piece," Rain's music teacher said, as he walked her to the door. "Yes Ajarn. And sorry for being late today," he said, waiing politely. "It's okay. Just make sure it's not repeated again," she said, reaching out, seeing Rain close up into himself. Rain was about to go in after the teacher left when his security guard called him. "Khun Rain, a Khun Phayu left this for you. Since you were in class, he asked me to give it to you," he said, handing Rain a food parcel. Rain took it and thanked the guard. Rain smiled as he watched the soup heat. He took the note that came with it. He knew this stationery. It belonged to his black tea angel. He leaned back and stared at the note. Then he took out his phone and looked for Phayu's Instagram and followed him. He then went on and liked all of his pictures.

Phayu

Phayu was leisurely walking back home when his phone pinged with a series of notifications. Puzzled, he dug it out from his pocket.
